Chapter 15 No Safe Haven

The butler looked nervously at Natalie.

These past few days, the trending topics were all about criticizing Natalie, and the entire Johnson

family

was under intense scrutiny.

Consequently, they were all being extremely cautious here.

However, they hadn’t expected these online trolls to be so audacious as to send something like this to

their doorstep.

Clearly, someone had leaked Natalie’s private information online.

“Ma’am, what should we do now?” Both the butler and the young maid were worried as Natalie

remained

silent.

Natalie set down the small bowl she was holding and picked up a napkin, elegantly wiping away the

stains

at the corner of her mouth.

Her movements were perfectly synchronized with her graceful figure, exuding an elegant, flawless

beauty.

Unexpectedly, she could remain so calm even at a time like this. Her demeanor remained indifferent,

but the air around her felt icy cold.

“Call the police.”

“The police?”

“What else?”

Natalie’s gaze was sharp, devoid of any warmth.

“But ma’am, these are just people from the internet. Calling the police…”

The butler didn’t finish his sentence, but it was clear that he was implying that dealing with these online

matters might not be straightforward.

“The internet is not a lawless place,” Natalie said, her voice still flat and indifferent.

In fact, she knew that Isabella had bribed all these people. She was well aware of it. Isabella wasn’t a

public figure, and she didn’t have a crazy fan following. A group of complete strangers wouldn’t go to

such lengths for her without a motive.

Cedric hadn’t come back in several days.

Those people against her must have calculated the timing and thought that Natalie would be driven to

the brink of insanity by now.

However, they had underestimated this version of Natalie.

Although she was currently a full–time wife dependent on her husband, she could also retaliate in her

own

way.

“Understood, ma’am.” The butler didn’t say anything more and proceeded to call the police.

Throughout the day, Natalie received dozens of packages in quick succession. The stench filled the

entire villa as she looked at the animal carcasses, funeral sheets, and even blades laid out in the hall!

When she saw these things in her previous life, she was terrified and couldn’t sleep for days on end.

Now, as she looked at them, she felt nothing.

These people were clearly trying to drive her insane with these actions.

The butler and Zoe stood together, gazing at Natalie sitting on the sofa, holding the piglet.

Zoe asked in concern, “Ma’am, should we dispose of these things?”

Why did Natalie want to display all of this here?

Natalie’s fair face was breathtakingly beautiful, and her delicate hand caressed the piglet in her arms

as she replied, “It’s fine. There’s no need to rush.”

“Maybe you should call the master.”

Cedric still hadn’t returned.

If he came back and saw this, he would surely be furious. Despite the rumors of him having an affair

with his personal assistant circulating for the past six months, the people here saw that Cedric was

actually quite good to Natalie, his wife.

Even if they were quarreling right now, they were still married. According to Cedric’s temperament, he

wouldn’t allow anyone to mistreat his woman like this.

Natalie closed her eyes.

Then, her phone rang. She checked and saw that it was Bianca.

“Hello, Bia.”

“Hey, Nat. I’ve already filed the lawsuit for you on my end. Do you want to review the clauses related to

you in the agreement?”

“No need. You have my absolute trust,” Natalie replied easily.

Bianca despised Cedric, so there was no way she would leave any loopholes that were against

Natalie’s

interests.

Bianca hesitated before finally asking, “So, for the past few days, has Cedric…?”

“He hasn’t come back,” Natalie said, already knowing what her friend was about to ask.

There was a pause on the other end, and then Bianca’s voice turned emotional. “With something this

big

happening, he hasn’t returned even once?”

“Yeah.”

That was how Cedric was currently. In the past, no matter what happened, Cedric would always be

there

by her side, protecting her from everything.

However, in these past few days, despite the public opinion turning against her and online harassment

reaching their doorstep, he hadn’t returned even once. 1

With every passing moment, Natalie had been waiting. She had hoped that this time, Cedric would be,

different from her previous life.

She was willing to give him another chance as long as he returned and stood by her side to face the

online bullies together. If he had returned and defended her and retaliated strongly for her sake.

But she had been disappointed in the end.

He hadn’t come back!

She was thrust into the eye of the public storm, surrounded by online abuse, and he hadn’t returned to

stand in front of her as he had done before.

In this life, they couldn’t escape the same fate as in the previous one, and their love was once again on

the verge of shattering into pieces!
